These are links I have for a while that new players should know about too. I won't link some things such as Pets, Classes, Horse Taming and such as there are already available guides here in Steam.


BDO Master List Guide (good for newbies):
http://dulfy.net/2016/08/05/black-desert-master-guide-list/

- Do hang around the site. Dulfy's done an amazing job creating guides for bdo.


Famme's BDO Map (Horse Calc + Trading Tools):
http://www.somethinglovely.net/bdo/

- This is one of the most important bdo sites you'd wanna look at as it contains the whole map of bdo. Please do thank Famme whenever you see him around discord.

Like I said, these are links to direct you to helpful sites and none of them are mine. I'm just a messenger. Do give credit to the people who took the time creating the guides and the class discords. They're all awesome people.


---
That said, just remember that BDO is a pretty different game to most MMORPG. It has a lot of in-depth mechanics that's gonna take you a while to get used to so no use rushing the game. I made this guide because a lot of us would just direct you to them one by one so why not have them all in on place. If there's anything else I can add, just do tell me.

Take the time to enjoy the scenery. Hope you newbies enjoy the game.
